Chapter 182 - Make Love (2/2)

Well, where was the girl who wanted to be brave?

Eshan chuckled loudly. I could not help, but hide my face more. All the talks were good to hear, they made sense, but adapting them needed time.

Thankfully, Eshan did not push me.

”I know. We'll take it slow. One step at a time. I don't want to overwhelm you.” He caressed my head.

For a while, we stood there in silence. I did not know what was he thinking, but my thoughts revolved around what he said.

”Hey, Fortune, buddy we'll play later.”

I pulled back when I heard him talking to Fortune. Fortune had gotten closer to Eshan's legs, and was rubbing his head to his knee.

In everything I had forgotten to mention how I beat my cynophobia, and them why did he return so early? He had back to back meetings today. He had told me in the morning. That was why I had insisted that he should go.

”Didn't you have meetings? How come you return early?” I frowned as I asked him.

Eshan fingers rubbed the area between my eyebrows as he tried to remove those lines.

”I was missing you,” he simply replied.

Stunned at his direct admission, I did not know if he was being truthful or joking. How could he leave his work, just because he missed me?

He could have called me or either received mine. I would never want his work to suffer because of me.

I pursued my lips, little unhappily asking him. ”Why did you not pick up my calls?”

”You called?” There was surprise flashing on his face.

”Yes, many times. Where were you? I thought you're in a meeting when you didn't answer,” I replied, narrowing my eyes.

”Oh! I did not know. I'll check my mobile later, I have left it upstairs.” He seemed clueless about the matter, so I decided to stop asking.

”Why did you call though? Were you missing me as well?” He cheekily asked, once again throwing his arm around my shoulders and pulling me to his side.
